Application filed November 5, 1926. Serial No. 146,436. 7

The invention relates to an improvement in fuel reservolrs for oil burners of cookmg stoves or the like, and more especially to an trol device being of novel form and simu lates a pan or cup of special design to permit waterwithin the oil to gravitate to a low level relative to the oil, so that the water can be drawn off without disturbing the body of oil therein;

- Another object of tl 1e invention is the provision of a reservoir or control device of this character, wherein the "oil from the main reservoir will be thoroughly strained, before the same is delivered to the burner or flame and such oil will be maintained at all times at a predetermined level and the pressure of the oil against the flame be constant.

A furtherrobject of the invention is the provision of a reservoir or oil control of this character, wherein the oil content of the main' reservoir can be completely utilized, without liability offluctuation in the flame and the pressure, of the oil against the flame be constant at all times, the oil being strained and the water being present within the oil gravitated to the lowest point of the reservoir or control, so that it can be drawn ofl at will without affecting the contents of said reservoir or control device.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a reservoir or oil control device of this character, which is extremely simple in construction, thoroughly reliable and efficient in its purpose, strong, durable, and inexpensive to manufacture and install.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the features of con} struction, combination "and arrangement of parts, as will bethereinafter fully described in detail, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and unto appended.

pointed out in the claim here- In the accompanymg drawing:

Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the fuel reservoir oroil control device, showing fragmentarily the main oil reservoir thereto.

in position relative Figure 2 is a horizontal transverse sectional view taken inthe plane of the discharge outlet of said fuel reservoir or oil control device, the main reservoir being removed.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing. 1 V v Referring to the drawing, in' detail, 5 designates a pan or cup shapedauxiliary-fuel reservoir of an oil stove, having an elbow pipe 6 leading'therefrom at a point elevated from the'lowest point of'said reservoir, the wall. of the latter being formed with a perforated internally threaded bore or nipple 7 into which is tapped the pipe 6' j which is extended through the frame 8 of the stove and leads to the burner, only a portion of the frame of the stove being shown and the burner thereof is omitted. The body of the auxiliary fuel reservoir or oil control device 5 is formed with an opened upper flangedend 9 constituting a bearing rim for the main receptacle or oil reservior 10, comprising the usual glass bottle, which is inverted over the auxiliary reservoir as is clearly shown in Figure 1 of the drawing. This bottle 10 has a valve cap 11 threaded on its neck and carrying a valve structure, as

.usual, provided with an unseating plunger 12 for the valve proper of the valve structure so that when thesaid valve is open the contents of the bottlelO will readily flow into the auxiliary reservoir or oil control device.

The bottom, 13 of the body 5 of the aux- I accumulation of water from the oil within o the body 5 which is gravitated to the bottom of said body, can be drawnofl on opening the valved cock 16, as the water'will flow from the-body 5 in the direction of the arrow in Figure 1 of the drawing beneath the hood 17.

The apex 19 of thehood 17 will constitute an abutment for the plunger 12 of the valve structure in the cap 11 on the main reservoir 10 so a to unseat the valve of said valve Iii] stiructurti when the main reservoir is inverted and resting upon the rim 5) ol the bod h, \Tl1C1Cl) oil will gravitate from the main reservoir 10 into the auxiliary reservoir 01 oil control device and reach a level therein as is shown in said Figure 1 of the drawing.

The hody l) is held stationery and oupported by :1 hiznrliet 2t) lixed to the frame 8 of the oil ntove.
